Hey @molcole11,

Have you tried repairing the "Picnic" file in the EasyAntiCheat setup?

Go to where you have BFN installed, open the EasyAntiCheat folder, and open the "EasyAntiCheat_setup.exe" file. Select the "Picnic" file from the drop down menu, and click Repair.

Once that's done, try running as Admin again, and re-launching the game.

Thanks 🙂

Hello, I just tried it and it has not been fixed 

Hey @molcole11,

Have you also tried doing a Clean Boot?

You can also try checking to see if there are any Background Applications running that might be interfering with Origin:

Another thing I can suggest is trying to create a new temporary Windows User Account, and trying to launch the game under that Account.

Thanks 🙂

The game still doesnt load up correctly after trying both of them things 

@EA_David can you help with this? 🙂 

Hi! Can you delete your old settings files and see if that has any impact?

You'll find them at C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\PVZ Battle for Neighborville\settings

Hello! I tried and it has not worked still. 

Can you restart with a Clean Boot and see if the same thing happens if you just launch Origin and the game?

If it does, can you open the Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc) and manually shut down the game process, and try launching from Origin again?

I already tried that when it was reccomended before. I am able to now close the game with task manager but it still black screens 90% of the time 

Have you noticed any sort of pattern for the 10% of time the game does open up normally? Also, can you try disabling your anti-virus as a test, as well as the clean boot?
